The degree of genetic relatedness among double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) components from 51 isolates of Rhizoctonia solani of diverse geographic origins was analyzed by RNA-RNA hybridization. The cultures included in this study were classified into five anastomosis groups (AGs 1-5), and originated from different geographic locations in the United States, Japan, and Israel. Radioisotope-labeled total dsRNA from eight Japanese cultures (AGs 1, 2, 4, and 5) did not hybridize to northern blots of total dsRNA from American cultures of the corresponding AGs. By contrast, total dsRNA from a Japanese AG 3 isolate hybridized to dsRNA from two of the nine North American cultures tested. Isolates of the same AG and obtained from the same field contained dsRNAs, some of which had the same size; only a few of these dsRNAs cross-hybridized. Quantitative analysis of hybridizing dot-spots showed that sequence homology among cross-hybridizing dsRNAs from isolates of the same AG but different geographic locations ranged from 32 to 80%.
